Students lexplore environmental trends in the troposphere- temperature, dew point, pressure and wind speed- by checking their hypotheses against data collected by weather balloons.

Students examine troposphere graphs and mcompare their hypotheses with data collected by weather balloons launched from the NOAA ship, Ronald H. Brown. they write summaries about the physical properties of the troposphere.

Students investigate the factors affecting climate using Live Access Server. In this geography instructional activity, students graph atmospheric data using Excel spreadsheet. They compare and contrast temperature, precipitation and...

Students use whale migration patterns to determine sex and age of whales and determine where these whales can be located during different seasons. They use mapping skills to plot the migration patterns of four unknown whales.

Students describe major topographic features on the Patton Seamount, and interpret two-dimensional topographic data. They create three-dimensional models of landforms from two-dimensional topographic data.

Students identify differences between photography and satellite imagery space.

Students plot the locations where major fossils of hominids have been found to extrapolate possible migratory patterns.

Learners determine speed and bearing, calculate a position by dead reckoning, and modify this position using vectors for wind and current drift.

Young scholars use CERES percent coverage surface data with a world map in locating landmasses and bodies of water at Earth's Equator.

Learners explore the microstructure of the ocean by analyzing graphs created by Dr. Mike Gregg of the University of Washington Applied Physics Laboratory during the EPIC 2001 research cruise on the Ronald H. Brown NOAA vessel.

Young scholars make and test hypotheses about atmospheric data collected aboard the NOAA ship Ronald H. Brown research cruise.

Students access the Global Sun Temperature Project website and research the relationship between the location and climate of a participating school to its building structure. They consider how climate affects the type of structures...

Seventh graders investigate ways of telling the shape of the Earth and its position in the Universe both historically and today.

Learners use maps to locate their community in order to create a flip book.

Middle schoolers calculate elapsed time and look for patterns.

Students use GPS and trees to explore lichens and air quality.

Sixth graders collect soil samples and record the location of the samples by using GPS.

Students assess the ocean's microstructure by analyzing graphs created during tne Ronald H.Brown research cruise. they discuss at what depths various sea animals live and write paragraphs on data analysis from the graphs.

Learners predict the location where the relative humidity the highest and lowest in and around their school. They use a sling psychrometer to measure the relative humidity of the various locations.

Learners follow guidelines to collectively draft a class letter that introduces their school to the rest of the participants in an online science experiment about water quality. They post the letter online as part of the larger unit.

Students are introduced to basic historic and geographic facts about Cambodia. They understand the spiritual component of Cambodia's art. They identify Cambodia on a map of the world. They construct a graphic representation of a film...

Pupils practice using a global positioning system. They discuss the use of celestial objects as navigation points and its problems. They list the advantages and disadvantages of GPS as well.

Students locate and identify the four major oceans and the seven continents on a world map. They use an unlabeled world map and compass rose to describe relative locations of the continents and oceans.

Students make a grid and coordinate system map of their classroom as they investigate why it is important to have a common map making system. They look at how landmarks are used for navigating an area.
